Registration, Visa Check & ID Collection

If you are an international student the University is legally required to check and take copies of your immigration documents before you can be allowed to complete registration. Please ensure you bring:

Your passport and a photocopy of all of its non-blank pages, including the page which was stamped on entry into the UK. This is to confirm your status to study in the UK.

Your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) – if you require one. If you need to collect a BRP on arrival in the UK this will have been detailed in the letter you were sent by UKVI containing your visa decision. You must ensure that you collect this before trying to complete your Visa Check and more details on how to do this are available in our guide.

Your ATAS certificate, if you need one.

ID cards will NOT be issued until this check is completed.

Details of when, and where, the checks will take place are available on the Tier 4 webpages.

If you hold a Tier 4 visa, on further occasions throughout the year you will be emailed and asked to report to a venue with your documents for a Visa Check.
